S., 612-871-0777) a much-needed makeover. In addition to a new look, the restaurant will add a private dining room, a chef's table and expanded bar seating. To accommodate construction, the restaurant will close Nov. 8, partially reopen on Nov. 13 with a limited menu and be completely back in business on Nov. 27. SAY GOODBYE Sad words, posted on the door at Chet's Taverna (791 Raymond Av., St. Paul): "We at Chet's are no longer open for business. Thanks for your patronage. Good luck." Chi-Chi's has served its final Fiesta Platter. The Mexican chain has closed all of its 76 locations coast to coast, including its five Twin Cities outposts. Rights to the chain were bought by Outback Steakhouse.
